Marsch on red-hot Wright-Phillips: You could argue he's the best in MLS history

HARRISON, N.J. — Bradley Wright-Phillips has made goals look easy to come by during his time in Major League Soccer.

Respect as one of the league's premier players has been much tougher to come by.

That is how New York Red Bulls coach Jesse Marsch sees things when it comes to his star striker, who has started the 2018 season in outstanding form, continuing that red-hot form with two goals in Saturday's 3-0 romp over Minnesota United.

The brace pushed Wright-Phillips' totals to a whopping six goals and four assists in eight matches in all competitions in 2018.
